(NASDAQ: JWEB), a provider of Internet-related services to millions of computer users throughout the United States, and Eiger Labs, Inc. will greatly strengthen Alexa's Internet presence. On July 19, 1999, Alexa entered into a Letter of Intent to purchase 64% of Eiger Labs. The purchase is now only subject to regulatory approval. "The purchase of Eiger Labs is an outstanding opportunity for Alexa as today's promotional alliance between Eiger and Juno shows. We fully intend to be a major Internet participant and Eiger gives us the platform to do it," stated Racicot. Under the terms of the arrangement, buyers of Eiger's F-20V MP3 Player, which has a suggested list price of $119.99, will be eligible to receive a $120 mail-in rebate when they sign up for a one-year subscription to Juno's full Internet access service, Juno WebSM. "The agreement with Juno is part of our plan to provide our customers with the best value," said Y. K. Kim, president of Eiger. "Through the joint promotion with Juno, we intend to significantly expand the market share of the MP3 Player, which is already one of the most popular digital music devices on the market." Eiger's F-20V MP3 Player comes with 32MB of memory, representing 35 minutes of CD-quality music. Additional memory can be furnished by a SmartMedia flash memory card. Eiger's MP3 Player weighs only 2.4 ounces and comes with Mega bass support, stereo earphones, an AC adapter, a leather belt-clip, and all necessary cables and software to load the player with music from either the Internet or compact discs. "We're happy to be working with Eiger Labs to provide consumers with a high-value offer," said Michael Yavonditte, a vice president for business development at Juno. "Not only will our new subscribers be getting fast, reliable Web access, they'll also be getting a cutting-edge piece of hardware that happens to be a lot of fun to use."
